Hi, Shawn. I'm getting a "page cannot be displayed" error when I try to
go to

I tried tagging on .html and .htm but those didn't work either...

... the EOWG is working on an Overview
for WCAG 1.0 [1]. An Overview for WCAG 2.0 would provide the starting
point for WCAG 2.0 by outlining the purpose, the pieces, and the
relationships between the pieces. It provides an illustrative graphic
as well as descriptive text.

An initial draft of an Introduction to WCAG 2.0 Working Draft Documents
is at:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/sketchpad/wcag20-intro
I think we're hoping to fit discussion of this into a WCAG WG
teleconference soon and work towards completing it before the next WCAG
2.0 public working draft.
Note that the EOWG is also working on other overview and introduction
pages. [0]
We envision this Intro to WCAG 2.0 WD as an entry point to WCAG 2.0
working drafts during the review period.
Once WCAG 2.0 is complete, the high level WCAG 2.0 information could be
integrated into the WCAG Overview [1], basically replacing the WCAG 1.0
information. We might also have a document such as "Navigating WCAG 1.0
Guidelines and Techniques Documents" [2] for WCAG 2.0.
